New products from Glensound

Glensound will have two product launches at CABSAT 2012.

The Express Box is an entry level twin commentators’ commentary unit.  Two identical full commentary positions each have their own mic inputs with selectable 48v phantom power and compressor/limiter.  There are two common talkback circuits available to each commentator along with 4 common inputs and a sidetone control for headphone monitoring.  Each commentator can then make their own desired monitor mix from these 5 inputs.  A mixed programme output is provided along with direct outputs of both mic inputs.  A 7 LED PPM meter completes the specification.

It is only the feature specification that has been amended on the Express Box and the quality levels remain the same as every other Glensound unit.

The GS-MPITBU is continuing the range of units incorporating Glensound’s Broadcasters’ Mobile Phone.  It is a 1U 19” rack featuring a digital POTS hybrid alongside a GS-MPI005 Broadcasters’ Mobile Phone.  There is a single input and output on the rear panel that is switched via a front panel toggle switch to be using either the phone or the hybrid.

The GS-MPI005 part of the system is a quad band 2G GSM phone enabling broadcasting specification interfacing to the mobile phone network.  The audio is RF shielded so is unaffected by the RF of the antenna.  There are also controls for input and output level.

The digital hybrid part of the system is a very high quality system offering up to -76dB separation with on hook/off hook and input/output level controls.

The GS-MPITBU allows two audio connection options in a single 1u 19” rack.  Both can remain connected so one can act as a redundant for the other in case of failure.  Main applications are expected to be for use with talkback in outside broadcast vehicles.

There is also an upgrade option with the Broadcaster’s Mobile Phone section to change it to a HD Voice unit enabling 7kHz audio links on the Orange and 3 networks.
